CNCO may have disbanded as a group, but the members are planning on forever…
The highly-awaited series from Disney+ featuring the members of the Latin boy band has a release date.
This week, CNCO unveiled new details on 4 Ever, Disney’s upcoming original fiction miniseries where Christopher Vélez, Richard Camacho, Zabdiel De Jesús and Erick Brian Colón make their acting debut.
“Ian, Andy, Dario, and Ciro. Four voices, one same destiny,” reads the Instagram caption.
The five-episode miniseries that’s produced by Tolmur and Bourke and directed by Nuno Gomes will air October 11 on Disney+.
4 Ever will follow the story of four musicians who are on their way to becoming a popular band in Miami’s music scene, and will include three original songs performed by CNCO and three covers of well-known ballads.
Ozuna is celebrating equality with a special guest…
The 30year-old Puerto Rican singer and rapper has joined voices with Tokischa to release the new single for “Somos Iguales,” as well as the track’s music video.
Ozuna and Tokischa met for the first time last year at an afterparty in the Dominican Republic and “we instantly clicked,” the urban artist said during an Instagram Live interview with Billboard Latin.
That great chemistry is now cemented on the new single, which features party-starting rhythms while sending a message of equality and inclusion.
“On the dance floor anything goes; here we are all the same,” says part of the lyric.
“I wanted to generalize that we are all the same,” Ozuna notes. “Things are not as complicated as before. There are many open-minded people nowadays.”
“Somos Iguales,” produced by DJ Luian, Mambo Kingz, Jowny and Hydro, is a and reggaetondembow fusion that Ozuna has been working on for two years, even before he met Tokischa. He explains he was challenged with the song’s concept but immediately connected with the track when Tokischa sent her verse.
“Her project is fresh and something totally new for the music industry,” he explains.
“In person, she’s very smart, respectful, chill and creative.”
The track also samples the 1993 reggae dancehall “Rich Girl” by British duo Louchie Lou and Michie One. “This song is so special for me because it samples a very iconic track that forms part of our childhood,” Tokischa says.
The music video, helmed by Venezuelan director Nuno Gomes, brings the lyrics to life, showing the two artists breaking into a room where a meeting with leaders of different nations is held. In the end, the leaders, law enforcement and artists all end up dancing to the same rhythm.
Currently, each artist is ready to kick off their individual tours. Ozuna’s trek starts September 30 in New York, and Toki plans to visit fans in Mexico and return to the U.S. after her successful debut Popola Tour.
“It felt nice,” she expresses of touring outside of her country for the first time. “I missed my house, my family and food, but I loved connecting with so many people, especially the Dominican who’s chasing a dream in another country. It was a beautiful experience.”
Christopher Vélez, Richard Camacho, Zabdiel De Jesús and Erick Brian Colón, who make up the popular Latin boy band, are preparing to make their acting debut on Disney’s upcoming original fiction miniseries titled 4 Ever.
The five-episodes miniseries, which is being produced by Tolmur and Bourke and directed by Nuno Gomes, will follow the story of four musicians — Andy (Vélez), Ian (Camacho), Ciro (De Jesús) and Darío (Colon) — who are on their way to becoming a popular band in Miami’s music scene.
4 Ever will include three original songs performed by CNCO and three covers of well-known ballads.
According to an official description of the series’ synopsis, “The young musicians meet by chance at a restaurant, where they get involved in an unexpected situation: a valuable guitar has just disappeared. To recover the guitar and return it to its owner the boys must put together a band. Their mission, however, is not as simple as it seems, as they are quite different. However, their passion for music becomes their common language and brings them together despite their differences as they embark on a journey that involves the promise of success – and also failed opportunities.”
4 Ever is currently under production, filming in different locations throughout Miami. It’s slated to premiere exclusively on Disney+ in Latin America later this year.
In January, CNCO released their first single of the year, “PHA (Party, Humo y Alcohol),” which followed “Toa’ La Noche,” their debut single as a quartet.
“We wanted to start off the year doing something different and this song was the correct one for this new era that we’re entering,” CNCO previously told Billboard during an Instagram Live interview.
“PHA,” produced by HV and Kairo La Sinfonia and written alongside the band, is an infectious pop song full of ’80s retro vibes. Besides the new series, the group is also working on new music and collaborations, with a handful of concerts scheduled in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.
The 32-year-old Dominican American singer/songwriter has released the new single “Lao’ a Lao’,” in which he wants you to know that no one will love you the way he does.
He also doesn’t need a mansion or a luxurious car, he only needs you.
Co-produced and written by Royce alongside D’lesly “Dice” Lora, George Noriega, Miguel Muñoz and Giovanny Andrés FernandezManzu, “Lao’ a Lao'” is a sincere and humble love song à la “Corazon Sin Cara.”
Perfect for a mid-summer anthem, the song is an innovative fusion between hard-hitting reggae beats and an electric bachata melody.
“We are living through challenging times and with ‘Lao’ a Lao’ ‘ I just want people to temporarily disconnect and tune into that light, positive, feel-good frequency,” Royce, a five-time finalist at the 2021 Billboard Latin Music Awards, expressed in a statement.
The song’s vibrant beach video wasdirected by Nuno Gomes.
The 25-year-old Colombian singer has released his new single “HP,” along with a vibrant video.
In the new track, Maluma sings about a woman who goes out with the intention of having a blast and getting over a cheating boyfriend.
The single was produced by MadMusickand Edgar Barrera.
The song’s colorful video, filmed in Miami, Fla. was directed by Nuno Gomes.
In the clip, Maluma takes over Miami’s Wynwood area (the city’s art district) with a group of friends, throwing a big block fiesta to celebrate that his protagonist is a single women.
“HP” will be part of Maluma’s fourth album 11:11, to be released later this year.
